BUT! NAP Tax for CBU non-ASEAN for 2,000cc = 100% so that makes the car about 180k. Le Sigh. 2.5mil yen = about RM 90k = Affordable.

The whole passenger side is completely destroyed. a crash like that would have the same outcome even with a full roof i think.

MX-5 was one of the displayed model. The price of the soft top in Japan: RS & VS 6MT is Yen2,500,000 VS 6AT 2,600,000. Just depend on exchange rate. but the final price times 3 & you will roughtly know how much is going 2 sell here. Some may ask why X 3? Bcos 200% duty plus the original 100% value equal to X 3 cos is a CBU model. Well, few weeks ago, there were a Mazda road show in 1U. MX-5 was one of the displayed model.

When NC launched in the begin, I was shocked that Mazda still stayed with soft top cos even COPEN can offer automatic hard top convertible. Soft top is history & for last century. Hard top provide more benefit in security & safety feature. It may drive down the loading for insurance as well in hard top. They do the right thing finally. Is a dream come true 4 MX-5 fans.
